The 2 August 2027 eclipse in Labouirat

Partial eclipse

On Monday 2 August 2027 the eclipse will be partial in Labouirat: the Moon will cover 74.0% of the solar disc, with the maximum at 08:40, Morocco time (GMT, UTC+0). It begins at 07:36 and ends at 09:51. In Morocco, totality will be seen in 262 places; the longest, in Martil (4 min 54 s).

With the naked eye

What you will actually notice in Labouirat

  1. 07:36 The Moon touches the edge of the Sun and the light starts to drop. You will not see it yet: a small bite out of a Sun that is still dazzling.
  2. 64 min of steady fading until maximum. In the last stretch it becomes obvious: shadows sharpen, colours go flat and the air goes still in Labouirat.
  3. 08:40 Maximum: the Moon covers 74% of the Sun.
  4. 74 % of the Sun covered. The light will turn strange — flat and cold, like a storm that never arrives — but it does NOT go dark: for that you have to be inside the path of totality.
  5. 33.1° above the horizon at maximum. With the Sun this high you do not need a clear horizon: just make sure no nearby building is in the way.
  6. 09:51 The disc is whole again and the eclipse is over.

The experience

What you will see in Labouirat

At 07:36, the Moon will start crossing in front of the Sun in Labouirat. At maximum, at 08:40, it will cover 74.0% of the disc: through eclipse glasses you will see the Moon’s bite in the Sun, although the drop in light will be subtle to the naked eye.

The full experience —the corona, the sudden darkness, the planets in view— only exists inside the path of totality, which in Morocco crosses 262 places. The nearest to Labouirat is about 820 km away: in Souk Tlet El Gharb (Rabat-Sale-Kenitra region) it will last 41 s. If you can travel that day, few things are more worth it; if not, 74.0% is still a show worth getting the glasses ready for.

At maximum, the Sun will be high: 33.1° above the horizon. There is no need to look for a clear horizon; it is enough that no nearby building blocks it.
